Regnier became editor-in-chief of Tintin magazine in 1966 and remained so until 1974. He introduced a more adult genre, with less perfect heroes and more violence. He created some of his most famous series like Bruno Brazil and Bernard Prince in this period, and introduced artists like Hermann to the magazine.

Originally known as Tintin et le Lac aux Requins, based on the Tintin animated film, directed by Raymond LeBlanc (1972).
The world's biggest pearl is stolen from the Museum of Oceanography.
Meanwhile Tintin and Captain Haddock arrive at Klow airport in Syldavia , on a visit to see Professor Calculus at Villa Sprog on the mysterious Lake Pollishoff.Tintin makes friends with two Syldavian children , Niko and Nushka who rescue Tintin and the Captain from a plane crash. The Professor has invented a machine that can reproduce objects.Rastapopulous want to get his hands on the Professor's machine , and kidnaps Niko and Nushka.
On the trail to rescue the kids , Tintin end up discovering a large criminal gang at the base of the bottom of the lake , ruled by Tintin's old nemesis Rastapopulous. Rastapopulous tries to drown Tintin , Niko and Nushka , but with the help of the Captain , Snowy , Niko and Nushka's dog Gustav , the Syldavian police and the Thompson twins , the day is saved and Rastapopulous and his gang are brought to justice.
I liked the way the characters where superimposed on the realistic background , which beautifully recreates the fictional Balkan country of Syldavia.

3.5 stars - not my favorite Tintin, but still a good story. This is not an original by Herge, but I still enjoyed it.
December 12, 2017
Clearly, we are missing Hergé a great lot here! In every page of the book, I missed him. And I dunno how Tintin came to be tied in the pipe, when he was walking with Rastapopulous, I really don't! Nonetheless, despite missing Hergé, this is a decent make.

Vuonna 1972 ilmestyneen Tintti-animaatioleffan pohjalta väsätty sarjakuva-albumi, jossa on käytetty filmistä suoraan otettuja ruutuja kuvituksena. Ei tätä voi suositella muille kuin keräilijöille.

The book was fun, lots of danger and explosions. In this book Tintin successfully lands a plane that was certain to crash, finds some treasure, locates the bad guys, has a few fights (wins some, loses some), gets in a situation where a bomb is gonna go off but he is trapped, he escapes of course and then nearly drowns before a finally boat chase.
All that action is fun but it has been crammed into only 44 pages and it feels rushed at times. Shame really, might have been better if more care was taken with building on the story.

Not as enticing as some of the other adventures - I am not sure if this was directly done for the movies, which might explain small differences from Hergé's original books... Still, very funny and readable!

Is there someone left who hasn’t read this book? If there are such readers, then my humble advice: PLEASE read this book, ASAP. It’s not only witty and colourful. It also provides for lots of adventure and climatic showdown with Tintin's archenemy.
Highly Recommended.

a bit short and disjointed.
felt familiar in places, i wonder if i've seen the film already.

Heute endlich in der Originalausgabe gefunden, wenn auch nur die 5. Auflage aus dem 1977, aber immerhin. Die Reise in die Kindheit ist dieselbe und ich schwelge jedesmal in Erinnerungen, wenn ich Tim & Struppi lesen kann. Ich las diese Geschichte zum ersten Mal auf dem stillen Örtchen, abends, wenn ich eigentlich im Bett sein sollte, die Mamma mich aber nochmals auf Toilette gehen lies(s).
Eigentlich nicht das beste Album, ist aber ja auch nicht Original Hergé, sondern von dessen Freund Greg, der diesen Film schrieb. Die Bilder (vor allem der Hintergrund) sind meist Stillbilder aus dem Film, den ich nach wie vor nie gesehen habe. Alle Charaktere vor Ort mit Tim, Struppi, Haddock, Bienlein, Schulze & Schultze, Rastapopoulos und selbstverständlich Bianca Castafiore. Etwas einfach gestrickt, gradlinig und kurz, als Fan von Tim & Struppi ein Muss, für alle anderen reichen die 23 "richtigen" Bände.

2,5/5
El Lago de los Tiburones es la adaptación al cómic de la película homónima. No está dibujada por Hergé, y para las viñetas se usaron directamente los fotogramas de la cinta. Por lo tanto, el dibujo es totalmente distinto y su gracia, mucho menor. En extensión es más breve, unas 20 páginas menos que el resto de álbumes. La historia es simplona; abusa de deus ex machina—más que de costumbre—, modifica expresiones y algunos nombres ni siquiera están bien escritos, aunque probablemente esto último tenga más que ver con la traducción. Es interesante de leer y no se hace pesada, pero sabe a poco. Es un intento tonto de sacarle un beneficio adicional a la película.

Hergé tem a ousadia de não pronunciar calão a partir da língua nativa, mas sim através de outras.
Um exemplo é uma fala em "sundanês" (se não estou em erro) de um personagem, que traduzido para o português através do incrível "Google Tradutor" fica "Puta que pariu".
Deduzo isto através da tradução em português porque não tive a oportunidade de ler "Tintim" na língua original.

Souvent décrié et sous-estimé par les fans, cet album adapté du film de 1972 me laisse un bon souvenir en tête...certes, c'est un peu naïf et bourré de bons sentiments, mais l'histoire de Tintin et ses amis est agréable et originale à lire!

The Lake of Sharks was a 1972 animated film, and later adapted into a comic book with still images from the film used as illustrations. It is very apparent while reading because it does not "feel" like a comic book. Decent plot without the Hergé touch (who merely supervised on the script).
July 5, 2019
Tintin and the Lake of Sharks is widely famous as an animated film than a comic book. Being written by Hergé's friend Greg, the story presents the other side of the same coin.
Although the presentation is based on the previous comic books and its characters and is considered as a part of the Tintin series, we get to see quite a lot of changes in the narration and portrayal of the characters. Tintin especially is shown wearing full pants, giving audiences an idea of the time passed since the previous books came out which were shown to be in a floating timeline.
However, the story catches up with the series by bringing back in the most popular villain, Rastapopulous, and giving a hearty conclusion to the readers who were waiting to know what happened to him.
The plot of the story is unique and takes you on yet another adventure with your favorite reporter. The story and its conclusion allows you to exclude the script's weak commitment and enjoy the last few bits with Tintin and his team.

As with the remainder of the Tintin stories, I read them years ago but am now just adding them to Goodreads.
This one wasn't written by Hergé and is the book based on the film of the same name. It differs a little from the film, but in the main, this is a decent addition to the Tintin canon - at least I think so. The basic nature of the characters is still there, and it's not that much of a departure from what Hergé himself may have written.
The underlying plot doesn't hold up to as much scrutiny however, but it's all good fun.

Was good, but not great. General feel of characters captured, but not quite the same as if Herge himself had done it I feel. Book also a bit shorter than the normal ones, so felt a bit rushed - and quite a bit captured in brief headings to explain what was going on, rather than the panels showing it. I know that this will be due to it being based off the film, and I will try and watch the film at some point, but after recently reading other Tintin comic books, just not at the same level.
July 24, 2007
Eh. It just looks wrong, so you don't want to read it. Perhaps the only Tintin I can't describe the plot of.
May 14, 2018
Don't know what happened to this book. It lacks the wonders of Tintin. I remember when I read it, I was about 18, and tried so hard to like it, but instead left panicked.
November 17, 2023
Kok berasa belum pernah dengar seri ini. Setelah dicek ternyata memang bukan original karya Herge. Pantes lihat ilustrasi di dalamnya tampak ada perbedaan dengan seri Tintin yang lain. Buku ini serasa lebih "sinematik" dengan backgroud kurang jernih dan tiadanya perpekstif ruang yang luas khas karya Herge. Jiwa seri Tintin masih dipertahankan dalam adegan-adegan berbahaya tetapi juga keberuntungan-keberuntungan yang menyelamatkan. Ceritanya bagus, hanya saja agak terlalu cepat dan "terlalu dimudahkan." Kurang tebal yang jelas.

Cuando era pequeña, uno de los primeros cómics europeos de los que disfruté fue ‘’Las aventuras de Tintín y Milú’’.
Quizás fue una especie de heraldo sobre mi futuro, más o menos, por supuesto: reportero, aventurero, viajero, terrier, malos a su alrededor, portera cotilla y compañeros inseparables para sus aventuras…
Habré leído los cómics… no sé, y no siempre por orden o la colección completa. Pero eso es buena señal.
Para chicos y adultos, de manera completamente normal, pues de pequeño algunos ya conocen el mal, o muchos. Y el sabor de las aventuras, era el bálsamo para los desagradables malos, que no dejaban de darnos la satisfacción de ser tan tontos como para caer bajo las trampas que Tintín les ponía, con la ayuda de ese ‘’perro’’ que hablaba y me encantaba leer ;)
Una narrativa; aunque cómic, es narrativa, muy elaborada, entretenida y educativa: teníamos temas para todos los gustos y de todas las nacionalidades, como he dicho. Había inocencia, suspicacia; había inteligencia y patosidad, había maldad y bondad… Había hasta un alunizaje… Aventuras por cielo, mar y tierra. Diversión, suspense… Un cofre lleno del tesoro llamado ‘Aventura’…
Tantos personajes que muchos conocen, que no acabaría de detallarlos si me entrego totalmente…
El eterno prota, poco más que un chico que vive tantas experiencias que nunca para quieto. Su tranquilidad y rapidez a la vez en momentos oportunos; así como su flequillo y sus pantalones, marca personal ;) y eternamente acompañado de ese perro que todos adoramos, de seguro, y el que no, que pare de leer aquí… Un ‘animalito’ goloso y a veces algo miedoso… que salvaba a su querido amigo de montones de peligros: ¿cuántas veces no la hubiera contado Tintín de no ser por Milú?... Y a la inversa: hay cada momento en el que te ríes y hasta lloras por lo que hacen el uno por el otro…
Luego llega el mal hablado, pero perdonable, del eterno Capitán de barco Haddock. La bebida no era un buen ejemplo, y el agua para él era un insulto; pero ¿quién no se ha partido el pecho con su jerga? ***x#@!!!... Además, tampoco abandonaba a Tintín, incluso con esa poca fe que traía a veces…
Los detectives más incompetentes del planeta sólo debían existir para que el tema llegara al punto de partirte del todo: menudos momentazos con ese par de inútiles y a la vez adorables patosos… La de tropiezos, caídas y demás, que no necesitaban de fisio… OMG!! Repeticiones, sombreros y bastones por doquier… La demostración real de que la incompetencia tiene sueldo… pero con todo lo que aportaban, cobraban poco y todo ;)
Y el ‘’duro de oído’’ Tornasol, que no admitiría la sordera a no ser por algo alucinante… y aun así. Siempre con su péndulo y su radiestesia, y contestando a todo con la respuesta contraria o la conveniente…
La Castafiore, su porte de ave y sus joyas, ¡¡Oh Dios del cielo!! Otra que era apreciada, de la manera en que muchos lo son: por inercia… Pero trajo sus momentos también…
La cotilla portera, el silencioso sirviente antes sirviente de los malos, y los malos que se repetían y cuando los volvías a encontrar, pensabas en lo que sucedería… Teníamos hasta una momia…
El peligro y esas aventuras siempre dispuestos para encontrar también nuevos amigos inolvidables, que nos retrataban (¡fotos!) en los forros de las portadas: desde el joven guía hasta el Rey de un país… Yo hasta los pintaba ;)
Con Tintín y compañía nunca te aburrías, y me parece que en época de ‘’vacaciones’’, no está de más que ‘’readingdeworld’’ lo recuerde ;)
En casa hay extras: la serie en DVD, libros como el de los insultos del capitán… entre otros, figuras de todo tipo, y hasta recuerdos del encantador museo de Bélgica… y del Castillo de Cheverny (en nuestro adorado Loira): construido para reyes que nunca lo habitaron, y que sirvió de inspiración para la vivienda del capitán… donde también hay un museo y tienda Tintín…
¿Habéis leído y disfrutado a Tintín… ‘’rayos y centellas’’?

This comic is based on the Tintin movie of the same name and being not a Herge original can be considered as a standalone. It is even shorter than the rest being only 44 pages and a pleasant read. It begins with a robbery in the museum of oceanography in the dead of night but there is a twist as the thieves replace the original with a copy and escape. The next scene takes us to Tintin, Snowy and Haddock who are on their way to Syldavia to visit Calculus who is working on a project which will be of interest to the forgers.
Most of the Tintin stories begin with the activities of Tintin but the story here begins with the crime itself. The mention of Mata Hari (spy in World War 1) does ring some bells in the context of the story.
Tintin's cleverness again saves the day with Castafiore, the Thompsons, Calculus , Haddock and the other two children in the cover shining in their own way. The cover itself is self-explainatory since the lake is the abode of the offenders. Not a very adventurous story but magnificent in its own way.
There is a stark irony in the construction of the lake (yes it's artificial) as it took the lives of thousands of people drowning their homes with it.

One can tell that it was not created by Hergé himself. It's cheesy from start to finish and the jokes are bland.

Boy this this one weak. I haven't seen the movie, but if I had to guess, the dialogue was lifted directly from the film with no thought as to how it would translate to the page. Maybe that's why there is no author listed on the book. Also there is very clunky expository text at the top of most frames, most of which just describes what is being shown. While I am not the biggest fan of Hergé's storytelling and identify a lot of problematic elements in the stories, this book makes it very clear that he had a solid understanding of the format of the graphic novel in moving a story along and showing action. Not recommended for anyone but Tintin completionists.

Found this in a comic shop in Victoria, B.C., and was astonished to see a new-to-me Tintin adventure. Turns out to be a comic book adaptation of a 1972 animated film, making it a further adventure outside the Tintin canon (and, apparently, with no Herge authorship beyond creation of the characters). Nonetheless, it's a solid mystery/adventure story, with plenty of action, humor, and appearances from most of the series regulars. It does lack the sumptuously detailed visuals of the best Tintin books, as well as the imagination stirring exoticism of a journey to a real-life location. It has the basic words and grammar down, but could use much more accent.
